Couldn't delet Photo's

Hi there,

how is it possible to use the <DEL> Key right? As if i mark a Picture,
and hit the key, Digikam tells me:
'Couldn't move picture nameofpicture.jpg to collection trash'

and why i start Digikam 5.4.0 (under Ubuntu 17.xx) from console i saw
something happend, but couldn't imagine what this is all about.
Look here: https://pastebin.com/HwLRD72X

I searched google for this problem, (re-)setting the Userrights for the
folder .dtrash, and some other things....

.. but no solution at the moment....

Thanks for reading
Vo.

Work perfectly here, but not under Ubuntu of course, as i don't want
to waste time with this worse system which try to re-invent the
wheel... But it's another story...

There is nothing special to read in this trace. All is normal.

Which file system do you use ? Where are hosted your collections ? On
the network ?

Meanwhile i find a "workaround" , <shift>-<DELETE> does what <DEL>
should do. Can i setup this anywhere?

That's a question, I use the standard (EXT4) filesystem on the linux drive.
The main collection is on a serversystem (under Xubuntu) which hold's
all ~70.000 photos.
This machine backs up every month to a local movable HDD (formatet as
FAT32).
My (the machine which couldn't delete) is sync'ed over network and
stores the collection on a movable SSD (it's formated as ntfs - i guess).
All this file movements, sync and rename actions a done by filesystem
programms.

Digikam 5.x is used only on one machine to display the collection and
edit the metatags.
Sometimes I edit some JPG-Files from the colleciton and store them local.

Nevertheless this works as it should, and i can delete Files (and
Pictures) form the filebrowser and other programs too. I don't know what
digikam5.x exactly wants to do - for deleting pictures.

If you're setting off the NTFS drive, make sure you have appropriate permissions. When I've had to mount NTFS, its been read only.

If you're doing lots of reading and writing, I'd suggest you use a filesystem that Linux has good support for: ext4 or xfs.

SHIFT+ DELETE remove files definitively from FS. DEL move files to
digiKam trash folder. This is completely different.

Re: Couldn't delet Photo's

In reply to this post by Vo

I have the same problem (autumn 2017, Digikam 5.5.0 on Ubuntu 16.04).

For years I've used Digikam in Ubuntu without this problem. But since
several days (weeks?) I can no longer normally delete images. I /can/ use
SHIFT-delete, but this doesn't move the deleted files to a folder "trash".
The latter used to go, and was handy to make recovery of accidentaly deleted
pictures possible.

I'd prefer NOT to use SHIFT-Delete, especially when deleting batches of
photographs.

Could you post the terminal output on pressing DEL ?

Re: Couldn't delet Photo's

I have exactly the same problem (currently on Fedora 27, but started at least
1-2 years ago, with whatever Fedora was current then).

Digikam version is digikam-5.7.0-4.fc27.x86_64, and my Window manager is
lxdm.

My complete terminal output for starting digikam and trying to delete an
image is this:

Re: Couldn't delet Photo's

Ha, I think I fixed it - just removed the .dtrash folder in my collection.
When I tried to delete a picture after that, a new .dtrash was created, and
the picture moved there without problems.

Comparing the old and new .dtrash folders, it seems that permissions and
ownership are the same, BUT the previous (broken) folder was missing "files"
and "info" subdirectories that are present in the new one.
